Save a Failed Idol’s Life

Chapter 11

The system only gives me half a year anyway.

If I dont succeed as an idol within half a year, I dont know how the system will cook me

Anyway, even if I maintain the group longer than that, its a waste of time for me.

I know that were slowly reaching the limit. Lets do it for another half a year. I really want to try something different this time.

Then, unexpectedly, Yejun, who had been talking about going in the opposite direction until a while ago, immediately expressed reluctance.

Uh Well, I dont know if Ive been struck by lightning all of a sudden, but Im moved by the determination Half a year. You said that after thinking about the contract period, right?

I dont know. Ive never heard of it before.

What?

I got a call from the Black Bulls label. Kuh Well, I have to worry about the military now I cant just hold onto things that dont work.

Thats undeniable.

Ah. This is the test period.

As if it had read my mind correctly, the status window that was invisible to the members appeared small.

[Confirmation of the reason for calculating the test period has been completed]

[Remaining period until the end of the test (contract expiration): 182 days]

Looking at the numbers like this, it feels shorter. I have to do something during this time.

I think its not bad to be a rapper, not an idol. I was seriously thinking about where to go after the contract period is over. One last time, doing an album together Its okay, considering the feelings weve had...

Seongwon, who had been listening, intervened even before Yejuns words were over.

Wow, in front of this bastard, you pretend to be loyal to the group, and then youre thinking about not renewing the contract?

Isnt the one who doesnt think like that stupid? Didnt you want to go to another agency as soon as your contract is over? No, is it that you cant go because theres no place who calls you?

Yejun was also not a person who could stand still after getting into a quarrel, so the fight caught fire in an instant.

Are you done talking?

No? I didnt, at all. You sound like you intended to stay, though?

I barely resisted the momentary Stop fighting, scumbags coming out of the bottom of my throat.

Its because Na Sunwoo was once again stretching out his beasts while everyones eyes were focused on the two of them.

Na Sunwoo, if you try to eat one more snack, Ill really throw it away.

Ugh, I, Im sorry..

All right, everyone, calm down for a second.

While the three men were out of their minds, Ryu Kyunghwa calmly continued.

To sum up. Finally, Ill try to change my mind just once, and if it doesnt work, Ill be on my own side.

I nodded slowly as a sign of agreement. Ill have to check the contract properly as soon as I have time.

I think its best to finish it like this now.

Yes, next time is really the last time, so lets work really hard this time.

I dont know how the company will react to it, but

The main investment destination is the Cheonsu group anyway, I want to push it in my favor.

Time to prepare for a single album goes by so quickly. So stop fighting and do some cooperation.

Kyunghwa sighed and alternately glared at the two.

What did I do?

Yejun protested as if it was unfair, but the seeds didnt work.

Seongwon was holding his arms crossed as if he didnt want to be with him.

Then now The most urgent question is.

As soon as Seongwon and Yejuns lip wrestling ended, attention was naturally drawn to the worst problem facing us now.

Why Why are you looking at me?

Sunwoo tried to sneak away from the rest of the members with trembling eyes.

But it was quicker for Seongwon to stretch out his long legs to block him.

Sunwoos innocent eyes were stained with fear.

Arent I not eating anything right now?

Its not about eating.

At least this guy. Hes a little round, but cute, and he needs to level up so that he can be sent on stage without getting ridiculed.

Youre on a diet from today!

When I declared to Sunwoo, Yejun unexpectedly cooperated.

Oh~ Im going to go work out right away. Then can I drag him along and let him run?

Why do you ask my permission?

Theres no reason to disagree.

I have to keep an eye on him, so Ill go with you.

Is there really nothing wrong? Im surprised. Hyung really looks like a different person. To say youre going to work out with me.

At that time, I was just going to an ordinary gym and squatting on my back.

Without noticing that Yejuns expression looked unusually happy.

* * *

Gasp, gasp! Yejun, how long did I run?

Sunwoo, who was sweating while flying his heavy body on the treadmill, was crying with his eyes closed tightly.

Ive only run for 20 minutes now. Ill slow you down, so walk fast and sweat more.

Yejun, who was wearing protective gear and sparring with the director, answered without even looking at Sunwoo.

I couldnt just sit still, so I got on the treadmill next to Sunwoo.

Although there was an aftereffect of the accident, the condition was not so bad that I couldnt run normally.

Its really good to be young.

Rather, when I was Lim Hyunsung, I was so much thinner. I ran leisurely at my pace, taking turns watching the two of them.

Yejun, who liked not having to exercise alone, brought us to the boxing arena.

I wondered why he had such a dangerous hobby while making a living with his face.

When I saw him sparring, he was wearing protective gear properly.

Your face is precious because its the foundation.

Even though we couldnt spar with each other, just coming to exercise together like this made Yejun very excited.

Ngh Its so, ha, hard

However, considering that he was complaining like that, Sunwoo was running in a form that was not disturbed at all.

Even though he used a lot of leg muscles by jumping rope a while ago.

He just gained weight quickly because he took a break from exercising and ate a lot.

Originally, his body was on the slender side, so it looked like he had some muscle left in that dull fat.

Dont cry and run more. A person doesnt die easily by running that much.

I was sweating happily because my body was fresh and young for the first time in a long time.

Being rejuvenated, it feels so good that I want to cry. This body that doesnt get tired even after running for 30 minutes.

I hadnt felt any pain in my back yet. I watched Sunwoo carefully, speeding up.

Hiks, o, okay!

We made Sunwoo run for nearly an hour until Yejuns sparring was completely over.

It was within three months that he gained weight, so I just wanted him to lose it as quickly as he gained it.

* * *

Whoa, it feels good to sweat a lot!

On the way home from an hour-and-a-half workout, Sunwoo kept crying because he wanted to eat dinner quickly. Should I make dinner right away?

Im hungry.

Ill make you dinner when I get home, so hang in there.

Sunwoo, who returned after washing in the gym shower room, distorted his face at an unexpected situation.

In the meantime, Kyunghwa had taken away all the snacks that had been scattered all over the house.

Nice!

Wh, where are all my snacks?

Sunwoo noticed the change at once and cried, but no one fed him.

I dont know, quickly eat your dinner and go to sleep.

In the meantime, I quickly roasted the cabbage with olive oil and spices.

In the air fryer, soft tofu, which is popular these days, was grilled with oil paste.

Now, its low in calories, so you can eat as much as you want.

I ate the salad I had for lunch earlier, except for the short pasta, and put it on the table with the dressing changed. Sunwoo lifted the spoon, crying.

Theres no meat at all.

Chicken breast is also meat.

Next to him, Yejun, as if speechless, lifted the chicken breast with a fork and put it in his mouth.

It was surprising to see him accepting the salad so docilely, considering that he was at the peak of his life.

Although there were many ups and downs, it was the beginning of mealtime to end the day.

Whoa, this is so good. Kyunghwa hyung, hurry up and come and eat it!

Of course, in the meantime, Seongwon thought it was really like Yejun to ignore him.

Wheres mine?

Before I knew it, Seongwon who came out of the room asked for his share without blinking.

What, dont sit next to me.

Yejun immediately protested, but Seongwon didnt care, pulled out an empty chair next to Yejun, and sat down.

Hurry up and give it to me.

Whoa Look at him ignoring me.

Its the same for you, man. I gave Seongwon his share before it escalated into a fight.

Dont fight and eat. Yejun, stop arguing.

What did I do wrong!

Yejun protested, squeezing his lips.

We all ended up eating diet food together, but there was no complaint about the menu because it was delicious.

Ill try roasting beef tomorrow. Its low in fat and it has lean meat, so its not oily.

Hyung, are you coming tomorrow?

Yeah. Because you shouldnt pick up weird things and eat them again.

Oh, I dont pick up weird things

Sunwoo, who was hesitating to answer, continued with a bright smile.

But Im glad that I can see you again tomorrow. Make me something delicious tomorrow too, Hyung.

Hes definitely kind and gentle, but

In todays harsh and cold-hearted modern society, kind followed by gentle could never be called a compliment.

I dont know if its a bad thing. Theres no choice but to take good care of them.

At that moment, as soon as Sunwoo finished speaking, Seongwon threw a tantrum.

Stop eating. Elephants are also vegetarian, do you want to eat the whole thing by yourself?

Sunwoo, who was diligently chewing cabbage, immediately had darkened expression.

But no one cared.

Its a little It feels a bit like bullying, but

Even in a midst of that dog fight, he only thought about eating He seems like a great man who would run for food, whether hes bullied or not.

After finishing the meal, Sunwoo said he would move his body even a little and started washing the dishes. In the meantime, I went out and called Vice Chairman Ahn Junghee.

It was about meeting the members after arriving at the dorm today. I told her that I decided to prepare for my last album.

After hearing my story, Vice Chairman Ahn Junghee carefully brought up the story.

Then do you want me to find a house nearby so that its easier to go to the dorm?

The moment I heard that, oh. I admired it a little.

Why didnt I think of that? The closer the distance, the more I can pay attention to them.

But I dont think I have to find a separate house.

No, there are a lot of rooms left in the dorm, so I think I can go in and live here.

Oh my, is that okay? You said sharing a room with the members is uncomfortable.

Because this is the last time. I want to do my best not to regret it.

Yes, then do as you please. Im glad that my son is getting along well with the members for the first time in a while. If you need anything else, ask Mom.

This person certainly thinks positively when it comes to Cheon Yise.

After talking about the members, I didnt have anything else to continue

Did you eat well?

All-round Koreans greetings. After asking about meals, we continued the conversation moderately and then ended the call.

Suddenly I felt strange.

To take for granted a parent who generously pours out support, cheers, and loves

What kind of feeling is it?

As my thoughts were digging into my head, I opened the front door and went inside again.

As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Sunwoo wandering around looking for snacks.

I think Id better stay here for the rest of the six months.

The dorm is quite large for five people.

I guess it was prepared to accommodate all seven of us who were originally debut members.

Sunwoo asked, blinking his eyes.

Huh? Hyung is going to live here, too?

If we live together, there is a higher chance that I will be treated as suspicious again, but

I was an old man who only knew that idols were dancing while singing.

I thought I would be able to adjust to the atmosphere if I watched what the kids were doing from side to side.

Thats natural. Until now, I only know how to pass by and watch other peoples stages. I never have imagined I would do it as well.

Yeah, Im going to pick up my luggage for a while. We only have half a year left, so I thought it would be better to live together as a team.

The main purpose is to watch the others get along so I could benchmark.

Ye, yeah! Its kind of unexpected, but You said you had a lot on your mind, too, Hyung

I strode to Sunwoos room alone. On the other side of the bed that Sunwoo did not use, the first and second floors were empty.

Is this the bed thats left?

I asked, staring at the mattress stacked with clothes and stuff, without a single step.

Yes, youre going to use it there?

Un. Please clean it up by tomorrow.

Then Sunwoo crept up and started to pack his clothes one by one.

Since when has it been piled up There were also a lot of clothes that didnt seem to fit the current round body.

There are some things that arent mine, so Ill ask the other members to clean them up.

It was then that I remembered that this guy was just a young chick who had just turned 20.

The rest of them were younger than Cheon Yise or about the same age.

Its like a twenty-one-year-old is giving a sentence to a twenty-two-year-old.

They are all young people who would be the same age as my children if I got married in my early 20s.

I turned the suspicious circuit around, conscious of Sunwoo staring at me constantly.

This guy He seems to be watching me too much

Yeah, Ill talk to the next room for a while, so you dont have to tell them.

With Sunwoos constant anxious gaze, I strode to the bed.

No way.

Ugh, n, no!

As soon as Sunwoo screamed, I realized that my intuition was just right.
